Age Scotland Community and Events Fundraiser, Pippa Zawisza, writes about how you can get involved with the charity on a local level.
Are you looking for the next challenge? Are you looking for a great day out? Most importantly, are you after some fun?
If you answered yes to any of our questions then Age Scotland needs you!
